Join thousands of attendees of all ages for a day-long bazaar of books, authors, readings, and workshops - all free and open to everyone. LVBF's programming is to share resources, develop audiences, advance writing skills, and encourage reading. There's something for everyone, from politics to Las Vegas history, romance novels, science fiction, Latino authors, thrillers, and more. LVBF also has a youth component with a children's area, live author readings, and illustrator demonstrations. Come and support the growth and development of the literary community in the Las Vegas Valley.

The Fremont Street Experience is a must-see destination in Las Vegas, spanning five blocks of Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. This portion of the street is closed to traffic for visitors to enjoy the attractions. The main feature at FSE is the 1,500-foot-long LED screen canopy that illuminates with over 12 million LED lamps. The canopy screenplays show Lucky Vegas, American Freedom, Don McLean's American Pie, A Tribute to Queen, and KISS Over Vegas while music blares in the background. It's worth keeping an eye on FSE's calendar as two stages on site have hosted concerts from bands like Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult, Joe Diffie, Foghat, the Doobie Brothers, and more. The majority of the concerts held at the attraction are free.
